Characterizing Hearing Outcomes Following Treatment of Cerebellopontine Angle Meningiomas.

Objectives: To characterize treatment and hearing outcomes for cerebellopontine angle (CPA) meningiomas with inherent risks of hearing loss and identify predictors of hearing loss for surgically treated lesions.

Design: Retrospective chart review.

Setting: Tertiary care medical center.

Cochlear Implantation in Ménière's Disease.

Introduction: Cochlear implantation has demonstrated benefit for restoring hearing in patients with Ménière's disease. We sought to examine disease and management factors that may influence postoperative speech performance and vertigo control.

Methods: A single-center retrospective chart review between 2010 and 2023 of patients with Ménière's disease receiving a cochlear implant (CI).

The development of aperiodic neural activity in the human brain.

The neurophysiological mechanisms supporting brain maturation are fundamental to attention and memory capacity across the lifespan. Human brain regions develop at different rates, with many regions developing into the third and fourth decades of life. Here, in this preregistered study ( https://osf.

What are the greatest opportunities for innovation to improve access to and quality of palliative care services to children? A qualitative interview study.

Background: Innovation is required within children's palliative care (CPC) to improve access to and quality of care. Existing research demonstrates a lack of access to CPC worldwide. This study aimed to explore the current opportunities for innovation within CPC from the provider's perspective.

A Multicenter Study of Noninvasive Wireless Assessment of Cerebrospinal Fluid Shunt Function in Hydrocephalus Patients.

Background And Objectives: Diagnosis of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunt failure is complex, relying on a combination of patient symptoms, history, and indirect tests, in part due to the inability to easily access information about shunt function. The objective of this study was to evaluate the performance of a novel noninvasive wearable wireless device in assessing the presence of shunt flow in patients presenting with possible shunt failure.

Methods: This was a prospective validation study including patients with an existing implanted CSF shunt system and symptoms of possible shunt failure.
